Adventures in Baking - Banana Blueberry Buttermilk Bread

I decided to bake something less sweet this week. I thought this bread would be a hit with the coworkers because it is naturally sweet from the fruit and has a nice tang from the buttermilk. Buttermilk also allows you to cut way back on butter and oils.

1. Whisk 3/4 cup buttermilk, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 canola oil, and 2 eggs. Add 3 mashed up bananas.

2. Whisk 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 nutmeg. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients with the wet. Add 1 1/4 cup blueberries.

3. Transfer the batter to a 9x5 greased pan and bake at 375 for 50 minutes. Let cool at least 2 hours before slicing.
